Latest update: The lenses are on the move and were in Paris, France this morning.
Should be in the states VERY soon.
it seems that it would have been cheaper for me to get them from Paris directly ... there's no need to send them over the big pond, just to send them back again later (and pay for additional shipping costs as well as customs fees
)
Would be nice if FedX would kick a set out as they fly over Austria.

Just another meaningless update for all who are interested. The lenses arrived here in Memphis at the FedEx facility at 2:12 a.m. this morning. They should be in Atlanta sometime tonight and out for delivery to AA Monday morning. Shipping on the lenses should start going out Monday or Tuesday if all goes well. Once again I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding in this matter. Also, this means you have until probably Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning to make any last minute purchases at the group buy price of 130.00 plus 10.50 shipping in the US and about 5.00 for my paypal fees.

I am going to speak for Shoe here and say that the group buy is now closed Bruce. It would CERTAINLY not be fair to all of the guys who have waited so so so long four our Indian friends to deliver.

Okay, as George said, the group buy is officially closed. Those of you who contacted and/or paid me up through this morning your orders will be filled. I have your monies and will send it to George along with shipping info. A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated and helped to make this possible. I hope you are all pleased with your lenses when you recieve them.
YOU GUYS ROCK!

Now, what bulb do we need to take out? The 20 watt or the 4 watt?

I looked into this when I got my Euro lenses from AA pre-group-buy. As far as I can tell, it's state-by-state. You
must have red taillights showing in pretty much every state, what varies is whether you're allowed to have any other color (i.e. the corner marker bulb that illuminates amber with Euro Lenses) as well.
To the best of my research, it's not illegal in Virginia.

Got mine yesterday. Amazingly, I got what I ordered... not like the AA steel flare set, which included a "unique" driver side rear that I had to cut off, bitch about for TOO LONG before he sent me replacement, and then weld on. I said I'd never order from George again after that last fiasco, but maybe I should keep an open mind. Thanks Shoe for all your work -- you rock!

I just got a pm from Brad after enquiring with him if mine had been sent and was told that they're sending them out in chronological order. Apparently I'm not getting mine out of this shipment and I'm in the next shipment.
I counted at least 50 boxes in that picture George posted and I'm 46 on the list.
So it looks like the BS continues for some.
George, you can stick my lenses where you think the sun shines from.
